Como Nossos Pais [English translation]
Como Nossos Pais [English translation]
I don't want to talk, my greatest love,
About things that I've learned from my vinyls
I want to tell you how my life was like
And about all that betided me
To live is better than dreaming .
I know that love is a pretty good thing
But I also know that any place is smaller than anyone's life
For this reason, watch out, darling,
The danger is waiting around the corner
They won and the way is now barred to us, the youngs.
To embrace your brother and kiss your girl in the street
is what your arms, your lips and your voice are made for
You ask me what's my new passion
I say I'm wondered at all this, it feels like a new invention
I'm going to stay at this city, I'm not coming back to the backwoods
Because I sense the smell of the new season hovering in the wind
I can learn anything through this wound, that lives within my heart
It's been a while since I saw you in a street
With the wind blowing in your hair,
Along young people, all joined together.
Hanging up on my mind's wall,
The memory of this is the frame that hurts me most
My pain is to realize that despite all we have done
We are still the same as before and live...
We are still the same and live as lived our parents
Our idols are still the same
And the appearances don't disguise it at all
You say that after them, no new idols have ever existed
You may even say that I'm out-of-date, that I made up all this
But it's you the one who loves the past and can't see that
new times will always come
Now I've learned that the man who taught me of a new conscience and youth
is now sitting at home, guarded by Lord, counting coins of vain money
My pain is to realize that despite all we've done
We are still the same as before and live...
We are still the same and live as lived our parents
